Factory Licence in Punjab
Punjab is one of India’s
most industrially developed states with strong presence in textiles, sports
goods, auto components, machinery, food processing, and pharmaceuticals. To set
up or operate a manufacturing unit, obtaining a Factory Licence is mandatory to
ensure safety, health, and welfare of workers.

What is a Factory Licence?
A Factory Licence is an official certificate issued by the Chief Inspector of Factories, Punjab, under the Factories Act, 1948. It authorizes the occupier to operate the factory after verification of building safety, machinery installation, and worker welfare measures. The licence must be displayed prominently at the factory premises.
Legal Framework Governing Factory
Licence
The process is governed by the Factories Act, 1948 and the Punjab Factories Rules. Applications are processed online through the Punjab Single Window System (PSWS) and the Labour Department portal. Punjab has made significant progress in Ease of Doing Business through digital reforms.
Who Needs a Factory Licence?
You must obtain a Factory
Licence if your establishment qualifies as a “factory”:
10 or more workers employed
with the aid of power, or
20 or more workers employed
without power.
This applies to manufacturing, processing, repairing, or any industrial activity.
